Voltaire 4,774 Posted November 26, 2023 17 hours ago, Voltaire said: Wordle 889 4/6 🟩 🟨 🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 My most frequently used 3rd word was available and delivered a gift-wrapped answer. I change starting words all the time, there's no pattern, but a lot of times 'dumpy' is sitting there after two with all its letters unused. It's easily my most commonly used word even though I never plan to use it and it only comes up as a clean-up time third guess. I had a green 'e' and a yellow 'i', could be a bajillion things... 'dumpy' took me directly to 'guide.' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 4,774 Posted November 28, 2023 Wordle 892 3/6 🟩 🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 For the first time ever, I feel that I've cheated a little. Normally I come into this thread after I go there to solve the puzzle. Not very frequently and until today, what you guys guess hasn't influence me. Today, not so. Today, I came in here first and saw what happened to 5-Points and thought "Oh, Sh*t!" so I went in and picked some words that featured less frequently used letters and it paid off really well.

We kind of touched on this the other day. Since all the regulars have posted today, I'll go ahead with some spoilers. Getting the E on my first guess forced me to choose words that end in E. But how many friggin words end in E? It wasn't until my fourth guess that I uncovered any additional letters. Then I chose SPOKE as my fifth word and got the P in the wrong spot. That was a bit of a relief but I was still nervous about entering that last pick. I didn't see any other options at that point, though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 4,774 Posted November 28, 2023 I became aware of the hard version a couple of months ago but, like I'd said recently, by then I was already making my own challenge of it based on ratios of 3s : 5s and 2s : 6s, which I am very close to getting. Also, as I mentioned then as well, the notion of what I call the "slide of death" which frightens me. There's been at least a half dozen times that I needed to put a tourniquet on when I had maybe four choices left for one spot and three guesses left. I like that I have a 100% win ratio. I can't keep a streak going because I miss days, but I can keep that going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And he's closing in on 300 days in a row! It's not really that much harder. Plus it fits my play style better. Even before I switched, I would still use any green or yellow letters in subsequent guesses. In some ways it makes the game easier by narrowing the possibilities. If you know the third letter is an "I", why waste guesses on words where the third letter isn't an "I"? Sure, it takes longer to develop a guess but by using the letters you've already revealed, you're sure to always have at least those letters correct. Then it's just a matter of putting them in the right positions and guessing correctly on the remaining letters. Volty's method works well for him, obviously. But I couldn't do it that way. For instance, if I start with ALIVE and I get a yellow E and a yellow L, I couldn't bring myself to throw SCOUT out there on the next guess. I'd go with LEVEL and see what that gets me.

Yeah, that's something I do often. And this is an interesting example. i wouldn't ever guess 'alive' for two reasons. For one, there's too many vowels, I'm not terribly interested in discovering vowels early on and prefer to pace myself with 2+2. (or 2+1 if both hit). I'm looking for consonants and along the way with 2+2, I get the vowels for free. Second 'V' is a letter too infrequently seen for me to guess it. And then once a consonant is eliminated, I would never go back and reuse it a second time and next to never for a vowel unless I've boxed myself in or need a tourniquet. There is something to be said for a word like 'level.' Until now, I would have never thought to look for a word like but I recognize that It's quite ingenious in the right circumstance, not after having already eliminated the 'v.' though.

Yeah, bad example on my part. I should have used ALONE instead. But you get my methodology. And to be honest, I'm not sure why I focus more on vowels since there are far more consonants. It's just how my brain works. I want to get the right vowels in place then play with the consonants until I get them right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking, if I were to play on hard, I'd probably choose words that had four consonants, which is the opposite of what you do. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
